Magnetic Analysis algorithms
The Magnetic measurements include I vs. ∫V, Inductance, Magnetic Property, and Magnetic Loss. When using I vs. ∫V
measurement, take care to check that the voltage ‘V’ does not have any DC components. Use the oscilloscope AC coupling to
avoid any DC shifts on the integral of the voltage waveform.
Inductance algorithm. It measures the inductance (the integral of the voltage divided by the current) of a magnetic component
during in-circuit operation. The application creates a single cycle by averaging multiple cycles of current and integrated voltage.
An electric circuit has electromotive force created by a change of current in the same circuit known as self-inductance or in a
neighboring circuit as mutual-inductance. Inductance displays the Inductance plot. The unit of Inductance is Henry.
The Inductance provides a view of the core behavior while it is under operation.
I vs (integral of) V algorithm. The XY plot of integral of voltage against current. The integral of the voltage is proportional to B.
The integral of current is proportional to H.
Magnetic Loss algorithm. The average value of the product of the voltage times current through the inductor. This represents
the total loss of the magnetic device and consists of resistive and eddy current losses during circuit operation.
